Original Release:  June 30 1949

Unrated: Comedy/Action/Drama/Adventure +

Running Time 23,294 Days

 

 

Conceived & Original Production by:

Robert Walton (Wally) Featherston – d.1981

Phyllis J. Featherston (nee: Wing) – d.2006

Cast: (In Order of Appearance)

Robert Featherston – Sibling – Ottawa, Ontario

Carol Bishop – Sibling – Palm Desert, California

Phyllis Beelen – Sibling – Ottawa, Ontario

Jason Wetstein – Son – Kitchener, Ontario

David Greene – Husband (current) – London, Ontario

Megan Griffith-Greene – Step Daughter – Toronto, Ontario

Alexis DeCastro – Step Daughter – Toronto, Ontario

Sherman T. Greene – Bulldog – London, Ontario

Produced & Directed by: Jan Greene

Synopsis: Janice Margaret Featherston was born June 30, 1949 into a military family and spent her early years on her grandparents’ farm while her father served his country in Korea. Following his return from the war, the family led a typical military nomad life with postings in Petawawa, Winnipeg and Ottawa among others. She became the typical ‘Army Brat’ and maintained the ‘Brat’ part well beyond the early years.

Following her graduation from Woodroffe High in Ottawa (’68), Jan attended the University of Western Ontario where she was granted a Bachelor of Music, Honors in Music Education (’72) and a Diploma in Education, Post Baccalaureate Program, Althouse College (’73). Armed with her unstoppable desire to teach High School music, Jan responded to a note on the bulletin board at Althouse and soon became one of the founding faculty of what has become the world-renowned Music Industry Arts program at Fanshawe College. During her tenure, she touched the lives of the vast majority of the students that passed through the halls, many of whom have gone on to be some of the most creative and influential leaders of the international music industry.

Jan was principled woman who wasn’t afraid to stand up for what she believed and did so regularly with an amazing combination of tenacity and compassion. She was true leader whose greatest joy was watching others grow and flower, a real scrapper; who won every battle she took on, except one. The family would like to thank Dr. Michael Borrie and the team at the Aging Brain and Memory Clinic at Parkwood Hospital, Betsy Little and everyone at the Alzheimer Society London and Middlesex, and all the staffs at both Horizon Place Retirement Residence and McGarrell Place Long Term Care for all their compassionate and professional support throughout this ordeal.

A remembrance will be held at the Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London Ontario between 7:00 and 9:00 PM on Friday April 12. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Alzheimer Society London & Middlesex www.alzheimerlondon.ca.
